The Ultimate List of TV Shows for New Moms to Binge Watch

One of my biggest “coping methods” or ways to de-stress is binge watching shows on Netflix. It’s similar to reading in that you can get lost in the story, the characters, the places and use it as a sort of escape. And when you are in the middle of the newborn season where you are feeding and changing and soothing a new baby basically 24/7, you most definitely have a need to escape. Been there, done that, I totally understand where you are at.

Between Netflix and Hulu I watched plenty of TV after having both of my boys, William just never slept and Daniel had terrible reflux for the first few months of his life and would just cry and cry and cry until we finally got him on medicine for it. So I totally get what you’re going through and I am here to help with a big list of binge-worthy shows.

Now, for the first 6 weeks or so, while my emotions were a bit all over I had to be careful not to watch shows that were too suspenseful or violent. And the same goes for during the worst bits of postpartum depression. Be aware of your emotions and what you can handle and don’t embarrassed because I have so been there, you aren’t the only one. In the list of shows below, I have italicized the shows that may be a bit stressful so watch at your discretion. I’d also like to note that not all of these shows are 100% “clean.” I tend to just not watch episodes if the description looks like it may be a bit risque or if I’m watching the show and something that’s not so great comes up, I simply stop watching the episode and try the next one.
